Police during a traffic stop Monday in Texas recovered a Mercedes SUV reportedly stolen from the estate of heavyweight boxing legend George Forman.  

Officers stopped the vehicle in the Houston area after finding its license plate number in a stolen-vehicle database.

The 31-year-old driver, identified as Heaven Leigh Platt, was taken into custody on an outstanding felony warrant for the burglary of a coin-operated machine. As of Tuesday afternoon, Platt had yet to be charged in connection with operating the stolen vehicle. Her bond is set at $10,000. 

It is not known when the vehicle was reported missing, according to FOX 5 DC. 

Foreman died in late-March at 76. He was an Olympic gold medalist and world heavyweight champion.

He later reportedly sold over 100 million George Forman grills and returned to boxing in his mid-40s.

His estate includes his Texas mansion and his business empire.
